Of course, this. motor mountinggalsois suitable for use with driven units: other thanpumps; I Most machines are intended. tozbe'; driven by one. predetermined sieerof motor but deep: well pumps are. an exception. fOI'qthBrr reason-that. the: amount of power required to::operate a. deep well pumpqvaries with the-.depth i the W611i"; i I Y Thmprimaryobject; of the invention is toprovideear mounting for motors having such adjust-- able connection with? the bases of motors that many. difierentwidths and lengths of motor bases may be accommodated thereupon.

Various particular objects and advantages of the invention will be set forth hereinafter.

In the drawing:

Fig. 1 is a top plan view showing an embodiment of the invention,

Fig. 2 is a view partly in section and partly in elevation taken along the line 22 of Fig. 1,

and

Fig. 3 is a vertical section on the line 3-3 of Fig. 1.

Referring now to the drawing, the embodiment as shown includes a bracket l which is fixed upon any suitable base 2, such as the casing of a pump if the motor is to be used with a pump, or on some other base. The upstanding bracket I carries a pintle 3 which is embraced by two ears 4 and 5 secured to a cross member 6. The cross member 6 is integrally connected with a longitudinal member I on which is slidably mounted a second cross member 8. A set screw 9, threaded through the outer end of the longitudinal member or tongue 1 and provided with the customary lock nut H, is employedto vary the height of the motor mounting above the base or casing 2, whenever the motor pulley is connected with a belt extending downwardly to a pulley below the mounting. Thus this set screw The 'cross member is:provlded 13: extending 1 upwardly: through's'tlre elongated slot. l4" and: serving towloclz;the' eross-.member::in

The fiat topped cross memberswith their slots will cooperatereadily with the motor bases of current designs, but should therebe in the future any difierently designed motor bases, it is contemplated that this invention maybe modified within the appropriate scope of the invention .to meet the requirements of such different motor bases.

1Having shown and described our invention, we 0 aim:

1. A mounting for electric motors comprising,

for adjustably regulating and determining the" angular position of said cross member and tongue about said pivotal connection, a second motor support cross member solely supported on and slidably mounted transversely on said tongue, and means for clamping the second member to said tongue in a plurality of adjusted positions,

said second member fitting snugly over the top and sides of said tongue for maintaining the transverse positioning of the last said member. 2. A mounting for electric motors comprising a base and pedestal upstanding therefrom, a motor support cross member pivotally connected 1 with said pedestal about an axis parallel to its own length, a single tongue rigidly supported on said member extending from the middle portion thereof at right angles thereto, adjustable means angular position of said cross member and tongue about said pivotal connection, a second motor support cross memberjsolely supported on and slidably mounted transversely on said tongue, and means forclamping the second memher to said tongue in'a plurality f adjusted positions.

3. A mounting for electric motors comprising a base and pedestal upstanding therefrom, a motor support cross member pivotally connected with said pedestal about an, axis parallel to its own length, a single tongue rigidlysuDDQrted on, said member extending from the 'mid lfi portioni said base for adjustably regulating and determini'ng the angular position of said cross member thereof at right angles thereto, adjustable means connected with the end of said tongue remote from said-cross member for resting on said base for adjustably regulating and determining the angular position ofisaid cross member and tongue about-said pivotal connection, a secondmotor support cross member solely .support'ed on andsli'dably'mounted transversely on said tongue between said-adjustable meansland'the first cross membergand means for clamping the second member to said tonguein a plurality" of adjusted positions. 1;; r V .-.i A; A mounting for electricmotors comprising a wbase 1 and :pedestal upstanding therefrom, a motor support cross member :pivotallyconnected with said I pedestal aboutv an axis parallel to its ownllength, a single tongue; rigidly supported on saidrmember extending from the middle portion thereof at right angles thereto, said tongue hav-' ing a central longitudinal slot, adjustable means connectedwith the end :of said, tongue remote from said crossmember for. resting on' said. base. for,adjustably, regulating and determining the angular position of said cross member and tongue about said pivotal connection, a second motor support cross member solely supported on and slidably mounted transversely on said tongue, and means extending through the tongue slot for rigidly clamping the second member in any of a plurality of positions along said tongue.
